The Manly Sea Eagles will take on Penrith Panthers in their second NRL preseason game on Friday.

The Sea Eagles side began their preseason on a strong note, with a convincing 34-24 victory over the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

The Panthers, on the other hand, did not have the start they would've liked to this preseason after winning the NRL championship for the fourth time in a row last season. They suffered a 16-22 loss to Canberra Raiders in their previous game.

Manly Sea Eagles vs. Penrith Panthers match preview

The two sides have previously met on 41 occasions, with Penrith Panthers holding a 25-16 advantage over their opponents.

Last season, things were fairly even between, with the Panthers and Sea Eagles trading a victory each. However, while the Manly Sea Eagles were knocked out in the semifinals, Penrith Panthers went on to once again become champions

This game will once again be a close affair based on the two sides' start to the preseason and some key personnel missing for both teams.
